Oh how our words come back to bite us. when one of my students says, "I hate......" I ALWAYS respond, "hate is a very strong word."
She just called (of course) to tell me how tired she was and she was just getting off work/going home. She said I could still come. I laughed.
I guess I don't know how to stop being her friend but I'm going to learn. I will have to make a conscious effort to stop answering the phone when she calls. I also need to not do ANYTHING for her.
I did mention something I did today. She said, "thanks." I responded, "I did it for the kids."
